I have been test driving Linux OS's, and I'd love to try Zorin. I have been successful formatting a 16gb usb drive in FAT32 (and also with NTFS), downloading .iso files, and imaging them to the usb drive. This boots reliably on a Dell netbook that needs a zippier OS. Unfortunately, using this exact same procedure with both the 32 bit and 64 bit Zorin .iso files, the netbook does not recognize the usb drive, and boots straight to Windows 7. When I image the LXLE, Crunchbang, or Mint .iso files back onto the same usb drive, it boots successfully just as before. Can you help me?
